American Idol

A T.V show that appeals to many individuals is called American Idol. This show gets many people pumped up to try out and then it really gets them down when they don’t make it. It lowers their self esteem and gives them false hope. This is a shoe that I don’t find very educational, but it is known most for entertaining Americans. The first couple of sessions were okay, until the judges became more and harsh to the contestants. This is one show that should not remain on T.V. because it is very wrong. At one time there was a woman that got so hurt by the show and what the judges said to her that she committed suicide. I know that this is very controversial because many people might disagree, but in my opinion this show should be removed from television. Many people are drawn to a show by all the entertaining aspects of it and some people are very entertained. They enjoy seeing other’s  make complete fools of themselves and them get rejected.

I will admit that I did watch the shows a couple of times and I did get a little entertained, but after a while I saw more details and realized it was wrong. Instead of putting people down for their singing and giving them false hope when they can not sing at all. The judges should let the people know the truth from the beginning and the ones with potential should get further help on what they want to pursue.  I would really like to see this show get canceled and save many hurt people from getting emotionally hurt or disappointed, but the reality is that it will succeed on the television.

The reason that it will succeed and not get cancelled is because not everyone has sympathy they rather be entertained. I would get more entertained watching something like the Simpson’s. It is not educating but at least it it’s not hurting real people. I think that people get so distracted by the entertainment of the show and they don’t look at the negative side of the show. I think that the worst thing to do is for the judges to lie to them and tell them that they can sing when they really can not. I think that instead of the judges telling the contestants that the are horrible singers, they should give them  a little hope to cheer them up instead of making them cry.

American Idol has been on television for a long time and I can only imagine how many people that were rejected by the judges felt very unhappy with themselves. I think that if only many people would see what I see, they would think very different about the program. I’m sure that a lot of contestants that were denied on American Idol had talent and they should get another chance. The judges should have a little compassion and remember if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all.
